Are these boys or girls?

[Mandied]

I am trying to figure out if our chicks are boys or girls? I have the names on the pics to show what feet and head goes together. Ricochet is doing the chest bumps like a football player so is Kimber.

They are so cute! No idea on genders, though Ricochet & Kimber look like silkies...big combs too. Adorable!

Kimber and Ricochet look like cockerels. They seem a bit young to sex. Age?

Thank you. I have read that silkie boys have walnut shaped combs. We can't have roosters. That's why I'm asking. I don't know when they would start crowing if they are boys and I don't want there to be an issue.

Not a atupid question at all. Silkies may take up to 12-14 weeks. @LadiesAndJane can help you more with that breed. As for the others, we really only needs pics of faces that show combs and wattles for a gender ID. We recommend 6 weeks minimum for that.

Here is a great guide for taking pics for a breed and gender ID. Some good info in there as well.

Agreed. They are both boys. Large raised combs in birds that appear to be quite young still.
